About the wine
Vibrant Oregon Pinot with historic roots
- Flush with ripe red berry and cherry flavors, topped with delicate spice, this red is everything you're looking for in an elegant Oregon Pinot.
- Ken headed straight to the Willamette Valley's original Pinot vineyards, first planted in 1966. He was one of the first to champion this tiny pocket and knows the hills like the back of his hand...so you get to sip the best of the best.
- "This wine is a perfect introduction to the place that first put Oregon on the map for producing compelling Pinot Noir." notes Ken. Stock up now and save Oregon Pinot history.
Best before
If you prefer a fresh fruit profile, then this should be enjoyed between 2-5 years. If you prefer complexity and nuance that comes with bottle age, then 6-12 years is recommended.
Serving advice
Young wines benefit from 15-30 minutes of aeration. Older wines should not be decanted as the aromatics are fragile and ephemeral.
Food match
This is incredible with game poultry like quail or a Chanterelle mushroom tart.
Contains sulphites
Always check the label
